The next enrollment cycle for the PTA Advanced Proficiency Pathway (APP) program has been extended through March 1, 2019. APP is the premier program for increasing and acknowledging PTAs' knowledge and skill in a chosen area of physical therapy. Pathway content areas includes geriatrics. Using the PTA APPs, participants complete online core courses common to all of the APPs; content specific courses for the selected area of work; and mentoring experiences with a qualified clinical mentor of the participant's choosing. For more information and to complete an online enrollment, visit the APP program website.

Description: Gain a better understanding of the Home Health Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) and how physical therapists and physical therapist assistants can start to prepare for the changing Medicare payment structure for home health services.

A recorded webinar will be provided February 20, 2019 (on this webpage) for review in preparation for the follow-up question and answer sessions (on the above dates) that will allow individuals to engage with APTA members and staff experts.
